"The Secret Garden" at the Rep

Here comes a great thing to do when visiting Ferndale this spring. Starting April 2 and continuing until April 26, The Ferndale Repertory Theatre will be presenting "The Secret Garden", a beloved family musical full of breathtaking songs. Set in 1906, a young girl is forced to move to England from colonial India. She discovers a hidden and neglected garden, and, bravely overcoming her uncle's resistance, nurses it back to life, bringing love and hope to her invalid cousin and uncle.

There will be a preview and actor's benifit on Thursday, April 2, followed by performances every Friday and Saturday evening. Each Sunday will feature a matinee performance, with it all ending on April 26.

Let us know at the front desk and we'll arrange tickets for you. Its a "do not miss".

For Doubting Thomas (or "Roby") at Wowi Zowi

By Golly, that's a good question. (See comment to previous posting) Especially coming from someone living down in San Clemente where they actually put fake owls with pre-recorded screeching on roof tops to scare off the seagulls. Of course he would doubt that we would have "real" Bald Eagles here in Ferndale. So, just to allay his suspicions, we are including a close-up of another photo we took at the same time which shows the birds heads and bodies in slightly different positions. Besides that, they flew off soon after...so they must be real!

Spring and New Residents of Ferndale

The spring-like days here are absolutely gorgeous! After the long and much needed rains we've had recently, it's wonderful to enjoy these beauty filled days. Everything's green and fresh.

One of the coolest things we have right now, in my opinion, are the two new residents of the Eel River Valley shown in the photo. That's right, we now have our own pair of bald eagles. I can't say I blame them for moving here! To me, it's extra inspiring when you consider their ability to literally choose any place they want to live, and they chose Ferndale. Well, so did we! Now that I think about it, that's what we want you to do for your next getaway.
